Description: The Sultanate of Rum Islamic Silver Coin Deluxe Box Set w COA In 1071, the newly crowned Byzantine Emperor Romanos Diogenes, driven by arrogance and overconfidence, broke a peace treaty to wage war against the Seljuk Turks encroaching on Anatolia. Incompetent in command, he pursued the retreating Turkish forces too far from his base camp, committing a historic tactical blunder that resulted in a defeat near the provincial town of Manzikert. This led to the Seljuks seizing much of Anatolia, naming the conquered region Rûm, denoting Rome. Subsequently, the Seljuks captured Jerusalem, prompting Pope Urban II to call for the First Crusade. The Sultanate of Rûm persisted until the early 14th century. This silver dirham, issued from 1219-83, stands out with a larger size than contemporary Crusader coins and a more intricate design.
